Apparently, once upon a time, in the 1950’s and 1960’s auto companies used to commision scale models of their lineup … looks like fun … Here, Chrysler claimed it was to help the build and plan out factories so if anyone asks why you built a scale replica of Radiator Springs, just tell you are […]

Thanks, “Dale W., Karla F. and Samuel K.” for the heads up and photos. This Launching Mack Transporter in the new Welcome to Radiator Springs sub-line seemed like any other playset from about 2008 to today with some 1:55 plastic CARS included … As far I can tell, every box of diecast is sniped with […]

Thanks “Mark T.” for the great photos. This is the 2nd release of Ponchy Wipeout in 2020 BUT it’s confusing because Bumper Save Ponchy Wipeout from CARS kept his job at the beginning of CARS 3 – he did “fired” when Next Gen, Paul Conrev replaced him … So, this is CARS 1 Ponchy Wipeout […]

Thanks, “Mark T.” for the great photos of the 1st Palace Danger Finn release around 2013 and the 2020 version. Of course, he has the eyelid line. He is slightly lighter in color – the side trim and rims looks slightly different. His mustache looks slightly different … and does he look a skoosh wider? […]

Thanks, “Mark T.” and “Samuel K.” for the nice photos. APB & Broadside 2-pack … (APB is also available as a single in 2020). Thailand variant with the eyelid line. Great detailing!

Thanks for the nice photos, “Samuel K.” Color changers are back … Basically you dip them in water and they change color … (not diecast).

Thanks “Mark T.” for the great photos. The Drive In mini line features the Pixar parody CARS at the end of CARS 1. Mike & Sulley are back – the 1st time since around 2008 and available separately. Of course, Mike has the eyelid line but the windshield frame is slightly different. He is a […]

It looks like the Pixar Fest series is a Target exclusive and not just a product dump even though the Disney theme parks Pixar Fest was canceled this year …

Thanks, “Mark T.” for the great photos! Metallic Silver Lightning McQueen returns as just “Lightning McQueen” (Silver)   The main difference i the last release had a raised metal eyelid while the new one is flat with an eyelid line. The 2020 also has the new Rust-Eze logo on the back spoiler. The 2020 Rust-eze […]

Thanks “Francesco MDC” for he heads up and great pics. A surprise mini line has popped, Pixar Fest Edition Lightning, mater & Ramone. I presume these were for Disney Theme Park’s Pixar Fest (scheduled for March 2020, I think??) They all have the Pixar ball logo on the hood. Lightning McQueen has the most new […]
